I love a good bit of context... Saw this article linked on an early piece from the first days of Cameron's crackdown discussing the then proposed porn regs. Some five years later, now that the law is about to be implemented can anyone say they've seen a peep out of the government on the subject CEOP budgets since? Why, if this Bill is really about protecting kids, was the funding for this sort of thing cut? And not just cut once but by 10% over three years. Surely they should be doing everything they could/can to run alongside these reg changes?
This is not a niche or particularly difficult thing to be consistent about is it. The cuts the article discusses are few million quid, chicken feed to a government putting all its eggs into this current lame basket. So why so little effort going into actually educating the young yet again? Is it always better to just demonize and scapegoat?

Then, more up to date, a survey on the possible AV take up made the news the other day. Since the government seem to put such great store on the survey of opinions from the likes of the NSPCC, let's see them take note of this one from the people they are equally supposed to represent: 67% of survey respondents saying they would be unhappy or don’t know if they would share their details with a random porn firm.
